Originally, Apple had opted to go with AU Optronics and LG Display for its iPad mini display production, while also later adding Sharp on as an extra supplier. However, ETNews‘ report suggests that Samsung will take over the bulk of production for Retina iPad mini displays from Sharp, leaving LG Display as the other major supplier of Retina mini displays. So it looks like while Apple would love nothing more than to ditch Samsung, it’s smart enough to know good help is hard to find.
